    This is the flipside of data residency requirements that countries are now starting to require. If the EU wants to keep data in the EU, then great, but when the war comes and energy and infrastructure are hit, people would have wished for backups in North America, Asia, and the middle east.

      I don't think this is a flipside, unless you're thinking from the PoV of data itself rather than its owners.
